Crestron Focuses On 80 Series Touch Screens At ISE 2026

Crestron Electronics introduced the 80 Series Touch Screens, a new family of dedicated control interfaces engineered for today’s connected homes in January.

Available in 8- and 10in wall mount and tabletop models in black and white finishes, the 80 Series is designed to blend seamlessly into luxury residences, MDUs, hospitality suites and marine environments while providing fast, reliable access to lighting, climate, AV, shading and security.

“For decades, Crestron touch screens have been the benchmark for dedicated control in the world’s most remarkable homes,” says Georgio Galaris, Manager of residential marketing at Crestron. “With the 80 Series, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned — speed, reliability, audio quality, sensing and design — and refined it into the most responsive and elegant touch screens we’ve ever built. This is the gold standard, perfected for today’s smart home.”

The 80 Series lineup is the result of continuous engineering refinement, delivering Crestron’s fastest and most responsive touch screen experience to date. The 80 Series ensures smooth navigation, instant feedback and reliability, whether a homeowner is activating a “Goodnight” scene, adjusting climate, or managing the entire home’s AV from a single interface.

Native integration with Crestron Home OS provides a familiar, intuitive interface across every room. Homeowners, guests and family members can easily access scenes, schedules and controls without unlocking a mobile device or switching between apps, making the experience more accessible for children, guests and users of any technical ability.

The 80 Series is designed to adapt to any project, from new construction to retrofit upgrades. With both PoE+ and Wi-Fi connectivity, dealers can choose the right option for each space, simplifying design and installation while minimising disruption to finished interiors. 

Wall-mounted and tabletop configurations make it easy to place touchscreens where they are most useful: on a kitchen backsplash, beside the bed, in a media room, on a desk, or in an entryway.

“Designers and integrators need a touchscreen that can go anywhere the homeowner wants control, without compromising the look and feel of the space,” adds Georgio. “The 80 Series gives them that flexibility; clean, architectural wall mounts or elegant tabletop options, all with the same refined aesthetic and performance.”

The 80-Series introduces Crestron’s most advanced radar-based proximity detection to date, so the touch screen wakes instantly as someone approaches. A newly positioned ambient light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness for perfect visibility in any lighting condition, from bright daylight in the kitchen to dim evening light in a bedroom or theatre.

Dramatically improved microphones and speakers deliver superior paging and intercom clarity throughout the home, making room-to-room communication more natural and dependable. A new physical microphone on/off button with an LED indicator provides instant privacy assurance for homeowners and guests.

With minimalist lines, slim profiles and black or white finishes, the 80 Series is designed to complement a wide range of interior styles. 

For luxury residential, MDU, hospitality, and marine projects, the 80 Series provides a consistent, premium control experience across multiple properties and spaces. Dealers benefit from a single, flexible family of touch screens that can be deployed across projects with confidence, backed by Crestron’s longstanding leadership in dedicated control.

The Crestron 80 Series Touch Screens for residential applications are expected to be available globally beginning Q2 2026 through authorised Crestron residential dealers and partners. 

Additionally, Crestron’s new Cevo Mini Remote is now shipping – purpose-built for today’s streaming-first homes.
